Probationer Arrested After Bizarre Behavior At Missoula Hotel

Missoula, MT (KGVO-AM News) - On November 30, 2025, Missoula Police Department Officers were dispatched to the Come On Inn to remove a male individual from the premises and have him trespassed. Staff reported the male was rolling down the stairs at the hotel and wanted the male removed.  

Officers arrived on scene, and staff advised that the male was not associated with the hotel. Officers observed the male rolling around, thrashing, and unable to maintain his balance. The male was sweating heavily, and his pupils were dilated. Officers recognized the male was likely under the influence of stimulants based on their training and experience.  

The Missoula Fire Department arrived on scene to medically evaluate the male. While this occurred, an officer patted the male down for weapons and to locate an ID card. An ID card was found, and the picture resembled the male. The ID card listed 26-year-old Noah Gochis as the male.

Officers Learned that Gochis was on Probation 

The officer provided Gochis’s name to dispatch. It was determined that Gochis was on probation for robbery and assault with a weapon. The on-call probation officer requested Gochis be arrested for a probation violation.  

Gochis was medicated by the Missoula Fire Department and transported to St. Patrick's Hospital for medical clearance. While at the hospital, Gochis's clothes were removed by medical staff. The officer observed that Gochis had several tattoos, including a swastika and the word felon tattooed on various parts of his body.  

Gochis eventually woke up and started asking the officer about his taser, sidearm, and whether the officer was trained in any martial arts. At one point, while the officer was just outside of the room away from Gochis's line of sight, Gochis told hospital staff he was considering attacking the officer once out of handcuffs. The officer overheard this conversation and called for additional units.
